Mormons... are so strong they can handle wealth they are confident. I think it is because they are not bogged down by rules for equality but have a firmly defined system of relative status and responsible command.

Moreover environmental health at the local level has become narrowly focused very much defined around regulations and the attendant regulatory debates.

If we had in this room a hundred teachers good teachers from good schools and asked them to define the word education there would be very little general agreement.

I think it is totally wrong and terribly harmful if education is defined as acquiring knowledge.

I've never had anyone define purity. You probably can't define purity. Purity is to live according to original design.

While a case can be made for intelligent design I can't figure out why some Christians are so thrilled about that possibility. First of all it doesn't prove there's a God. If anything intelligent design lends support to some form of pantheism that defines God as immanent within nature.

Nothing defines humans better than their willingness to do irrational things in the pursuit of phenomenally unlikely payoffs. This is the principle behind lotteries dating and religion.

A mustache really defines your face. My dad had a mustache when I was growing up and I can still remember when he shaved it he looked like a completely different person.

My definition of courage is never letting anyone define you.

The quality that defines us as Americans is the courage to respond to being hit. The courage to root out and destroy the killers. And most importantly the courage to hold on to our values and protect our hard-won freedoms while doing it.

Part of Obama's persona is self-reliance. He's calm he's cool he's self-possessed. In many ways he has tried to define himself in opposition to Clinton's sometimes needy often undisciplined emotionalism.

The Semantic Web is not a separate Web but an extension of the current one in which information is given well-defined meaning better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation.

Globalization as defined by rich people like us is a very nice thing... you are talking about the Internet you are talking about cell phones you are talking about computers. This doesn't affect two-thirds of the people of the world.

The first reason for the preponderant influence of those Evangelicals who define themselves as advocates of Religious Right theological and political ideologies is that they have both the financial means and technological know-how to make widespread use of modern electronic forms of communication.

A monopoly on the means of communication may define a ruling elite more precisely than the celebrated Marxian formula of monopoly in the means of production.

I've had some movies that have been ridiculed but that's OK with me. I don't feel that really defines me. Should I change who I am to be popular?
